WWE will hold another set of NXT tapings tonight from the campus of Full Sail University in Winter Park, FL. The main topic in regards to the product is the wheels will be put in motion to crown a new NXT Women's Champion. The storyline shot earlier this week is that Paige was stripped because she cannot hold both the NXT Women's Championship and WWE Divas Championship. The storyline was actually leaked on dot com but later deleted. The main roster guest is scheduled to be WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E. Wrestling News World'sScott Brooks will be in attendance and will have a detailed report on the show's conclusion.

TNA will go-home to Sacrifice with this week's episode of Impact Wrestling. The show was taped a couple weeks ago with spoilers here and here. I detailed a non-spoiler preview at this link, noting that advertised matches included Kurt Angle vs. Rockstar Spud, MVP vs. Austin Aries and Beer Money vs. Gunner & Bully Ray. Alex Barie will host our Impact Open Thread featuring streaming live results and your discussion. Make plans to join us beginning at 8:30 PM EDT right here at WrestlingNewsWorld.com.
